The Web according to Samuel Rubenfeld, a copy reader/blogger with Dow Jones.
I'm 22 and I live in Astoria, Queens. Listen to a ton of music and read a lot about politics, public policy, the news media and the future of journalism. Expect a heavy dose of things to read.
RT @ajbreakingnews: At least three dead in explosion in Pakistani city of Peshawar.
RT @jackshafer: The Breitbart, Reuters, Drudge Report love triangle: http://bit.ly/4frgWq
rt @thecaucus Dems can lose 40 votes on passage of #hcr, needing 218. So far, 36 have voted no. Republicans’ haven’t strayed from opposition
The motion to recommit (the last chance to change a bill) failed. Voting on the #House #hcr bill now. 15 min vote and 218 needed to pass.
RT @palafo RT @TechCrunch: After Fort Hood, another example of how ‘citizen journalists’ can’t handle the truth http://bit.ly/4BMTC4
Time magazine’s @JNSMALL reports: Republican Cao (New Orleans) votes yes on health care. Kucinich votes no.
The White House response: RT @BarackObama: This is history.
One GOP voted in favor. The House now has its own Olympia Snowe?!
Ovation on the House floor as the Dems get enough votes to pass a historic #hcr bill. 39 Dem noes„ 0 GOP yeas so far.
The final vote on #hcr in the House: 220-215.
The only other amendment being considered in the House #hcr bill is the Republican “substitute,” which is smaller in scope. Unlikely to pass
The Stupak amendment, which bans federal funding of abortions (with limited exceptions) looks like it will pass. #hcr.
RT @DavidCornDC Wow Boehner: lets leave medical decisions to doctors and patients. Remove the insurance companies. He supports single-payer!
